Our Services
Upgrade to a Better Kind of Pet Care
At The Sharp K9, we're committed to elevating the standard of care for all animals. We understand that pet care & training goes beyond just dogs and cats; it includes a wide range of animals, from rabbits and parrots to livestock like goats and chickens.
We also support self-trained service dog teams that don't have an organization to guide them along the way. We are here to help guide you in your healing journey.
Pet Care
Build a Strong Foundation
We provide a more thoughtful approach to pet sitting, requiring that exercise, care & enrichment are considered and implemented for every visit.
We specialize in high-maintenance pets that require extra steps, like:

- Training reinforcement
- Intense exercise
- Medication administration
- Bike rides or jogging
- Mental stimulation
- Loud & Clear commands
Our dog sitting sessions start at a minimum of 1-hour. Cats and small animals start at a minimum of 30 minutes.

OTSD Support
Need a hand?
For disabled individuals looking to train their own service dog, we provide support and education to your team. We will help you understand your rights under the ADA, EEOC, FAA, and FHA, as well as advise you on any training hiccups along the way.
We also offer public-access training support for those yucky days when unruly dogs (and people!) are off-leash around your service dog in-training.
Our trainers are also prepared and will to speak to store managers and other members of the public about your rights as a service dog handler, or SDIT handler. You will be taught how to express your rights and answer the 2 lawful public access questions as well.

Stimulation
We believe in the motto, 'A tired pet is a happy pet.' Our pet sitting includes not only feeding and walks, but also engaging activities that stimulate your pet’s mind and body. Whether it's a bike ride, interactive toys, or trick training, we ensure your pet remains active, reducing anxiety and boredom.
If your pet requires training prior to certain activities, such as bikejoring, we will start your pet sitting sessions with a trainer.
Safety
Your pet's safety is our number one concern. Our trainers & caretakers are trained in pet first aid and CPR to ensure your pets are protected while in our care. With the Sharp K9, you can rest assured knowing that your beloved companion is in safe and loving hands.
Additionally, you can look forward to text message updates about your pets' day through our Caretaker Summaries.
